Wonderful location.
Pros:

This is a great location! 15 minute walk to Asilomar Beach. It was very clean and the staff was friendly. There was a woman staying there the same weekend who claimed we were being very noisy but really we just got back from Cannery Row late and we’re trying our hardest to be quiet. Her complaint was the door to our room was squeaking every time we opened it and closed it and she demanded that we stay in our room! That made our stay a little unpleasant. We wanted to stay up and play cards, but we’re too afraid to make noise. The walls are quite thin and it was unfortunate that we had to shut our time together down and all go back to our rooms.

Not recommended, especially for the cost.
Pros:

It was clean.

Cons:

The bed should have gone to the dumps. Very uncomfortable and noisy. Loud noisy wall heater. At check in the lady was rude. And breakfast was undesirable.

Pleasant and relaxing.
Pros:

Location. Hotel rooms have always been clean. Quiet too.

Cons:

Keycard system is old and the keycards tend to de-magnetize easily. I don’t like bothering them past office closing time. But that’s just me. They were accommodating and helpful. No problem getting new keycards.
